Ali Sutton, Tipping Point's chief program officer, warned that the situation could deteriorate further depending on federal policy changes after the passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, formally known as HR 1.

"Given those substantial cuts, we anticipate these numbers will only worsen over the next few years."

After years of decline, we're seeing a drastic increase in the number of people living in poverty. The new numbers indicate that more people across the Bay Area are struggling to make ends meet. Even people who work full-time are having trouble. The biggest increases in poverty are in San Francisco County. But some say there are critical steps to keep people out of poverty.
